Derbyshire's was responding to the "the talk" that African American parents have with their children about what to do when stopped by a police officer.

Reuters reported:

"The columnist asserted 'there is a talk that nonblack Americans have with their kids, too' about the differences between themselves and black people.

He said that talk included telling children that about 5 percent of black people were 'ferociously hostile' to whites and that a larger percentage would 'go along passively if the 5 percent take leadership in some event.'

Derbyshire said children were advised to 'avoid concentrations of blacks not all known to you personally,' stay out of heavily black neighborhoods and avoid events likely to attract a lot of black people."

Another National Review contributor, Robert Weissberg, was also fired just this week for advocating "maintaining whiteness" in "Whitopias."
